May 22 2009Queen Of England Gets Gold-Plated Wii
The Queen of England was presented with a gold-plated Wii as part of a publicity stunt to hype up new title Big Family Games, which I have the feeling is gonna suck so hard.
BIG Family Games is the ultimate Wii game to get all family members, from grandparents to young children, playing together. The Royal Family is arguably the most important family in the country so we felt that they had to have a copy of the new game ... But we thought that Her Majesty the Queen wouldn't want to play on any old console, so an extra-special gold one was commissioned. We hope that she and the rest of the Royal Family enjoy the game!
Exciting news, huh? What do you expect folks -- I'm blogging from the effing beach. Yeah, and I just had sex with a mermaid! Of course, I was pretty drunk so it could have just been a big fish. Or *crumpling Subway wrapper* a tuna melt. What? OVEN BAKED SUBS NEED LOVE TOO!
THQ sends the Queen a gold-plated Wii [geek]
Thanks to Edwin, van, Riri, Watch-303 and catch22, who don't need gold-plated Wii's because of platinum you punk bitches.

Thank you wii for coming out with so many crappy games that finding a decent title is like finding golaiths drink stirrir in a haystack...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was drinking in a hotel bar, complaining that he could have been playing with the John Mayall blues band, and insetad he's teravelling around singing funny songs in falsetto.

no wrist band on the controller?!?!?!
oh, someone will be replacing the royal television shortly. (SMASH!!!! We are not amused! Summon the royal technology minister to replace the electronic game viewer!)
15. Screw 95% of the games - May 22, 2009 1:32 PM
95% of Wii games are freakin hack jobs. This Big Family Games game looks like the poster child of those hack job games. The queen should accept the wii and toss out the game. Wait for Wii Sports Resort.

'the only wii for the queen is a gold plated one!'
20. Rhialto - May 22, 2009 2:22 PM
I think this Royal family don't need Wii games.Because they can play all those games for real on their own property! But it's a good publicity stunt anyway!

24. Fuzzy Tingle Times - May 22, 2009 3:22 PM
So, did she only get one wii mote to play a family game? Good job nintindo. Nothing like trying to get the queen to stop hogging the controller.

Well it's a nice and noble gesture on Nintendo's part. I mean to donate a free Wii to a family that cant afford to buy one themselves is.........wait. WTF!
